MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 1162 The Third Rise of the Xianbei

  Chapter 1162 The Third Rise of the Xianbei People

   "When I was in Liangzhou, I heard rumors about the Tuoba family in Xianbei: Tuoba Jiefen has no wife's family, and Tuoba Liwei has no uncle's family."

   Someone Feng took a chopstick, picked up a piece of food on the plate, and symbolically put it in his mouth and chewed it twice.

   Then put down the chopsticks, and then looked at Tuoba Desert Khan on the opposite side:

   "The current leader of Tuoba Xianbei is still Tuoba Liwei?"

  Hearing the nobleman mention his lord, Tuoba Desert Khan, who had just sat down, quickly stood up again, and replied respectfully:

   "Aye is naturally still the head of the tribe."

   Seeing Tuoba Desert Khan's words and deeds, Feng narrowed his eyes invisibly.

  In the consciousness of most people, Tuoba Desert Khan comes from Suotou, which is not much different from the tribes on the grassland.

  Because there are too many and too many tribes on the grassland now.

   Not to mention the origin of the Xianbei people, it is really too messy.

  After the complete decline of the Huns, Xianbei took the opportunity to annex more than 100,000 of them and occupy the land of Monan.

  Over the years, the Dingling people and Gaoche people in Mobei have also been going south, so it is inevitable that there will be disputes with the Xianbei people.

  So the Xianbei people merged with some of the Dingling people and Gaoche people in Mobei.

  After Wuhuan was defeated by Cao Cao, many people changed their appearance and merged into Xianbei.

  This situation allows the tribe to grow at the fastest speed when Xianbei is strong, such as Tan Shihuai and Ke Bineng in the early days.

   But the hidden danger is that the expansion is too fast, and the interior has not fully absorbed and assimilated those foreign tribes. Once there is a trend of decline, it is easy to split.

   Still take Tanshihuai and Ke Bineng as examples.

   Once these two people die or decline, the race will immediately fall apart.

   It is precisely because these years, the tribes on the grassland have become more and more mixed and more and more.

  So although Suotou is a big tribe with hundreds of thousands of string controllers.

  But the reputation in Senai is not even as good as that of the tribes who have been close to the frontier fortresses and traded with the Han people all the year round.

   It happened to be such a grassland tribe living in the northern part of Monan, far away from the frontier, and rarely communicated with the Han.

  As the head of the young patriarch, Tuoba Desert Khan seems to be subconscious in his words and deeds, but he reveals a very important message:

   Only those who are deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains can have the performance of others.

   It is not uncommon for Hu people to admire Han culture.

  Especially in the western Xianbei, the Liangzhou army was like a dog driving away a family. In a few years, an unknown number of Dingkou were taken captive for labor.

  In the central part of Xianbei, Kebineng died and his family was wiped out, and tens of thousands of fine riders were buried in Qiaoshan and Jiuyuan.

   The last backbone of Xianbei was finally broken by Feng.

  The psychological advantage of Xianbei over the Han people created in the Tanshihuai era was completely shattered.

  In addition, Ji Han has a unique industrial chain, and the products he produces, like a magnet, tightly attract the barbarians on the grassland.

  From Juyan to Jiuyuan, and then from Jiuyuan to Pingchang, there are barbarians who speak mixed Chinese and learn nondescript Han etiquette.

  But without special guidance and systematic study, they would never be able to be as fluent and natural as Tuoba Desert Khan.

   Feng's mind turned, and he asked:

   "Tuoba Liwei is your adult?"

  The adults in the Chinese dialect and the adults in the Xianbei dialect have different meanings.

  But Tuoba Desert Khan is familiar with the etiquette of the Han family, so he naturally understands the meaning of the nobleman's words.

   "Return to the nobleman, that's right."

   "Is he in good health?"

   "Thanks to your concern, Aye is still able to hunt on horseback, and his strength is still strong."

  Hearing this, Feng couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional:

   "I remember that he is just a few years younger than the bald-haired Pigu. After calculation, he is almost seventy years old, right? I didn't expect to be so Kangtai."

   Tuoba Desert Khan was sent here by Tuoba Liwei, so he was no ordinary person.

   Seeing Feng's aura, and then hearing the other party mention Liangzhou, and the tone seems to be very familiar with the Tuoba clan.

  Hearing the other party mention the bald-haired man again, his heart skipped a beat.

  Others don't know about baldness, but how could Tuoba Desert Khan not know?

  I heard that the bald-haired tribe separated from the Tuoba tribe had already attached Feng Duhu in Liangzhou in the early years.

   At this time, he was so blessed that he suddenly remembered the encounter that was very memorable on the Baideng Mountain Road a few days ago:

  Feng Duhu who came to Pingcheng a few days ago, isn't his surname Feng?

   As soon as he thought of this, Tuoba Desert Khan's heart suddenly started beating a little bit.

   Swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, as his heart beat faster, his blood surged up.

  I saw him tentatively asking:

   "Acquaintance with Aye, according to the nobleman's tone?"

  Someone Feng shook his head:

   "I don't know him, but he has been famous for a long time."

  Now Liangzhou Baldness Department is split from Tuoba Department.

  The bald-haired master of the bald-haired tribe was originally the heir of Tuoba Jiefen, the previous Xianbei master of the Tuoba tribe.

  Unexpectedly, Tuoba Liwei, the son of a heavenly woman, would appear on the way.

  Tuoba Jiefen finally changed his mind and made Tuoba Liwei the heir of the tribe because of what the goddess said, "children and grandchildren inherit each other, and generations are emperors".

   Tuobapi felt lonely, so he left westward with his clansmen who supported him.

   Then he met someone Feng, and the fate of the clan changed.

  The core tribe of Tuoba Xianbei who stayed on the grassland was Suotou.

  Tuoba Xianbei was originally just a small Xianbei.

  But Tuoba Liwei, as the son of a celestial maiden, is naturally not comparable to those ordinary leaders in the grassland, and he can be regarded as a hero.

  After Tan Shihuai died, Xianbei split, and the tribes attacked each other.

  Tuoba Department was also inevitably involved in this chaos.

  Knowing that he has no ability to resist this chaos, Tuoba Liwei took the initiative to rely on Dou Bin, the master of the Wuluhui tribe, to resist the invasion of the Western Xianbei in order to avoid being wiped out.

  In a certain battle, Dou Bin was defeated, including his horse, so he could only flee on foot.

   At this critical moment, Tuoba Liwei gave him his handsome horse.

  Because of this incident, Dou Bin was deeply moved and planned to give half of his land to Tuoba Liwei.

  Of course, Tuoba Liwei must have strongly refused.

  So Dou Bin married his favorite daughter to Tuoba Liwei.

  At the same time, he funded Tuoba Liwei to gain a foothold in Changchuan in the north of Monan.

  Others were desperately trying to go south, but Tuoba Liwei's seemingly retrograde move actually gave Suotou a chance to breathe and grow stronger.

   Not only in the next ten years, it will avoid the annexation war of Kebineng annexing the tribes of the grassland, but also avoid being involved in the dispute between Kebineng and the Han people in the south.

  There were endless wars elsewhere, but Suotou stayed in Changchuan safely, and many Xianbei people went to seek refuge.

  At the same time, when Kebi Neng was defeated by the Wei State, and the Western Xianbei was expelled by the Han people in Liangzhou, Suotou took the opportunity to absorb many fleeing Hu people.

  In these years, the Western Xianbei, which was the first to split off, almost perished, and the most powerful Ke Bi Neng after Tan Shihuai was wiped out.

  Tuoba Xianbei, who lived in the northern part of Monan and was led by Tuoba Liwei, grew stronger day by day, and quietly controlled half of Monan without knowing it.

   From a small species of Xianbei to become the largest tribe on the grassland.

   Naturally, Feng is well aware of these information.

  But at this time, he deliberately looked at Tuoba Desert Khan with a sizing look:

   "However, I heard that there are now 100,000 people who control strings in Suotou, and they are the largest tribe in the grassland."

   "If you are really from Suotou, why are you being embarrassed on the mountain road?"

   Tuoba Desert Khan was slightly startled, he didn't expect the other party to even know about this.

  But when he thought of the possible identity of the other party, he quickly felt relieved.

   "Since you know what happened that day, you must also know that the person who made things difficult for me in the mountain path that day was someone who didn't have Luhuibu."

   "Then this matter is even more unreasonable. If I remember correctly, Suotou and Wuluhuibu are related by marriage, right?"

   "The nobleman only knows one thing, but not the other." Tuoba Desert Khan smiled wryly, "It's true that the two families are related by marriage, but the adults who don't have Luhui regard us as relatives, but his two sons may not."

  Back then, Dou Bin, an adult from the Luhui tribe, wanted to give half of the land in the clan to Tuoba Liwei, which had already created a gap between his two sons, Dou Suhou and Dou Huiti.

   Not to mention that as Suotou's former suzerain, now he has to look up to Ba Liwei's breath, which is even more unpleasant.

   Strangers who have never met before have worked hard and turned over. Some people will feel envious, some will find it inspirational, and some will be jealous, but few people are so jealous.

  And the relatives and friends who have always been below me have surpassed me, and even become an existence that I have to look up to. The feeling in my heart is different from that of strangers.

   Not to mention that this relative and friend didn't even have a place to live back then, and he once borrowed from his own home.

  The start-up capital of his business was sponsored by his own family, and he was even willing to donate half of his family property to the other party.

   Now that the other party is well-off, with a net worth of billions, he is unwilling to give even 1.8 million. Is this reasonable?

  Dou Suhou and Dou Huiti thought that Tuoba Liwei first attached himself to his own tribe and was regarded as a servant of his own tribe.

   A servant turned into a master, not many masters would be happy.

   Moreover, Tuoba Liwei received a gift from his own tribe in order to gain a foothold.

  Besides, the adults planned to distribute half of the tribe's land to Tuoba Liwei back then, which shows how generous the gift was to him.

What now?

  Tuoba Liwei controlled such a large amount of land, he would rather distribute the grassland to the tribes who came to attach himself, than give even a little land to the Luhui tribe.

  So the two of them were naturally resentful.

   Now that I met Tuoba Desert Khan outside, and deliberately made things difficult, it was a matter of course.

  Already drank some wine, coupled with the agitated mood at this time, Tuoba Desert Khan also opened up the chatterbox.

  But seeing his face was a little angry:

   "Your Excellency led the tribe to Changchuan more than ten years ago. For more than ten years, he has been vigorously promoting moralization. The old Xianbei tribe looked up to Your Excellency's virtues, so they came here to vote."

   "If your lord is really as Dou Suhou and Dou Huiti wished, taking other people's land for in-laws, wouldn't it be a bad reputation? Who will dare to vote in the future?"

   Someone Feng nodded:

   "It turns out that there is such a twists and turns. In this way, Tuoba Liwei is really a rare visionary on the grassland."

  He looked at Tuoba Desert Khan again:

   "No wonder when I saw Mr. Tuoba, I felt that he was very different from that ordinary barbarian. It turned out that there is such a lord. It really is a tiger father without dogs!"

   His words not only praised Tuoba Liwei, but also praised Tuoba Desert Khan.

  Where did Tuoba Desert Khan ever see such stunts as "smart words and tricks"?

   On the spot, I was a little embarrassed, and at the same time I felt extremely ironed in my heart, and I was inexplicably moved.

  Because these days, I have been rejected repeatedly, and my heart is gloomy.

  At this time, he suddenly heard such praise from such nobles. If it wasn't for the asymmetry of his status, he would have wished to make him his confidant.

   It’s not okay to just praise yourself, but it’s okay to talk about your own Aye:

   "My lord often said that he watched the former Huns and Ke Bineng's disciples, who were greedy for money and profit, and plundered the border people of Hansai. Although they made gains, their deaths and injuries were not enough to make up for it."

   "This action is to attract the hatred of the Han family, and the common people will suffer. This is not a long-term plan. That's why the Lord sent me here. I want to make friends with the Han family, and I don't want to make the same mistakes as Kebi Neng."

   After saying these words in one breath, Tuoba Desert Khan breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down a little.

   Then there was another wry smile on his face:

   "Who would have expected... Alas!"

  Actually, there is nothing to say about such things.

  After all, it is not something to be ashamed of being a good Han Chinese.

   Any tribe that has grown to a certain extent on the grassland will send envoys to the Central Plains whenever they feel that they are qualified.

   Except Tanshihuai is an exception.

  So Tuoba Xianbei, who had benefited from the corpses of Xianbei and Ke Bineng in the west, and whose strength was inflated earlier than in the original history, this time it was just following the usual practice.

  Of course, if Tuoba Desert Khan didn't sneak a glance at the nobleman opposite when he sighed, it would be more sincere.

  It’s just that when Feng was 16 years old and was fighting with the old monster Zhuge, Tuoba Desert Khan was still riding a lamb to practice riding skills.

  Now at this age, how could he show his weakness in front of Tuoba Desert Khan?

   But seeing Feng smiled, he seemed to say casually:

   "No wonder I heard that a few days ago, some people wanted to ask to see Captain Xianbei several times. It turned out to be Mr. Tuoba."

   Then he raised his glass and took a sip of the wine, pointed at Tuoba Desert Khan, and joked:

   "It's just this matter, Mr. Tuoba has found the wrong person, Captain Hu Xianbei, seldom in the city, mostly leading troops outside the city."

   "The person in charge in the city is Hu Xianbei's Captain Shi, Mr. Tuoba came to handle the matter, why didn't he even inquire about such important matters in advance?"

   Tuoba Desert Khan was startled when he heard the words:

   "Is that so? It turns out that I've been asking for a meeting but can't, and it's like this?"

  Tuoba Desert Khan hurriedly saluted Feng:

   "A certain person was asking for it but couldn't find it. I didn't expect to find a way. Now I have a noble person to remind me, I am really grateful!"

   "It's just a casual remark, what's the point?" Feng waved his hand nonchalantly, "But I'm fairly familiar with the Colonel's Mansion, so I know the doorway."

  These words seemed to be an understatement, but in the ears of Tuoba Desert Khan, he almost couldn't hide his inner ecstasy.

   Sure enough, this nobleman has an extraordinary status and is definitely a person worth making friends with.

  Even if he doesn't have much relationship with Feng Duhu, he is probably a very powerful person.

   Otherwise, how would he know about protecting Xianbei Xiaowei's mansion?

   After confirming this point, Tuoba Desert Khan subconsciously wanted to find a topic to get closer to the other party.

  But before he could speak, someone Feng asked again:

   "Just one thing, I'm a little curious, I want to ask Mr. Tuoba."

   "Your Honor, please speak."

   "Nowadays the world is divided into three parts, Han, Wei, and Wu Dingli, needless to say the state of Wu. In your clan, do you want to make friends with the big man, or send someone else to go to the state of Wei?"

   Tuoba Desert Khan was dumbfounded when he heard it, and dared not speak.
